Peanut Butter Icing

Since yesterday was the hubby's birthday, I wanted to make him a cake. I've been making him the same butterfinger cake since we started dating but this year was a little different. Somehow time snuck up on me and I wasn't able to get all of the ingredients I needed to make it. I did a little improv and made a plain vanilla cake with peanut butter icing.

I emptied a container of whipped cream into a bowl and combined it with a few tablespoons of peanut butter.

*Fun tidbit - we go through so much peanut butter at our house. We buy two 40oz jars and they last about 3-4 weeks. It's INSANE!

After the peanut butter and the whipped cream were combined, I stuck it in the freezer to harden just a little bit. I had completely forgotten that whipped cream melts. I blame it on my new mommy brain. I should've used cool whip, which would have held up much better in the situation.

Once the icing was harder, I iced the cake and cut a slice for the hubby and I to enjoy.

I loved the cake and peanut butter combination. Even though I like the butterfinger cake better, this was a nice change.
